Waverly in Cardiff-by-the-Sea is a chic, breezy spot for Modern American fare, brunch cocktails, and a touch of magic to elevate your dining vibe.
"Cardiff-by-the-Sea’s chic all-day restaurant has changed up the cocktail options on its happy hour menu, which is featured every day from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Find deals on beer, wine, and drinks like the I Love You Matcha and Horchata Cold Brew as well as bites ranging from ocean trout ceviche and kale salad to Waverly single single burger." - Candice Woo
"We like the Waverly best for a fun brunch, since there are plenty of specialty cocktails, non-alcoholic spritzers, and kombuchas, as well as a resident magician and mentalist if you’re game for some David Copperfield with your mimosa. Their menu is all over the place—they’ve got avocado toast with salsa verde, funfetti pancakes, and turkish poached eggs with aleppo pepper and cooling yogurt and mint. It gets pretty busy on weekends, so plan ahead and make a reservation. " - ligaya malones

"The Waverly in Cardiff is a bit of a drive from Downtown, but it’s within walking distance of a great longboarding beach, and a popular camping spot. With its pastel tones and airy setting, the restaurant is a pleasant place to eat anything from their menu that’s kind of all over the place—they’ve got soft shell crab sandwiches with chipotle aioli, funfetti pancakes, and Turkish poached eggs with Aleppo pepper and cooling yogurt and mint. It gets pretty busy on weekends, so if you’re coming with a group, definitely make a reservation. We like it best as a fun brunch spot, since there are plenty of specialty cocktails, non-alcoholic spritzers, local hard seltzers, and kombuchas, as well as a resident magician and mentalist if you’re game for some David Copperfield energy with your mimosa.
